Verdict

Plenty with claims in this but the veteran TROOPINGTHECOLOUR has had just the three starts since early last year and can race off the same mark as when placed in a Class 3 contest at Kempton. He gets a speculative vote given Mystery Drama was well beaten at Goodwood last time having won over track and trip before that. Cerutty has something to find with the latter on collateral form and Injun Sands is upped in class after scoring at Lingfield. Royal Warranty, Sarpech and Perfect Summer were all below par last time but are capable of much better on their day.
